A/N: So i cranked this one out quicker than i expected, so enjoy and i want to say thank you to those who reviewed, i really appreciated it.
ANNABETH POV:
I was right around the corner of my hotel and I was crying on the phone with Thalia.
"Thals, it hurts, it really hurts" I whimpered into the phone.
"Annabeth, I know life sucks right now, but I promise it will get better" she soothed.
"How? How do you know?" I yelled as I walked closer to the hotel.
"Annabeth, you know why" she spoke.
"How? How can you be so optimistic all the time?" I sobbed.
"Because that's what you have to do. We've had our fair share of shitty days our whole lives but we never dwelled on it. Annabeth, what happened is now in the past, it can't be change, and it can't be altered. You just have to except it, learn from it and move on. I know it seems hard now but you have to have faith in fate. Everything happens for a reason" she said.
"Gods Thalia, you're so wise" I giggled as I wiped my face hoping I didn't look like a raccoon with the smudged mascara.
"I know right! I mean look what a few years of college can do to you" she giggled.
"Yea it's truly amazing, but you're right. Everything does happen for a reason" I spoke as I smiled.
We spoke for a while until I stumbled into something and fell flap on my butt.
"I'm so sorry" a voice spoke, a hand shot to me and I took it and quickly dusted my skirt.
"Annabeth? What happened?" Thalia asked alarmed.
"Nothing, I just bumped into someone" I said as I looked to see who it was.
"Annabeth?" a boy with blonde hair spoke.
My eyes widened. "LUKE?" I said
"LUKE? Luke is with you?!" Thalia screamed into my ear.
"Annabeth, it's so good to see you!" he spoke as he brought me in for a hug.
"Oh my gods, it's been forever" I said as I wrapped an arm around him, still holding the phone to my ear.
"You tell that son of a bitch that I said go to hell!" Thalia screamed.
He pulled back and smiled.
I'm pretty sure he heard what she said.
"Um, Thalia says hi" I giggled.
"Oh hi Thalia, I assume you're still as beautiful as ever" he said into the phone.
"You son of a bitch. If I ever catch you I will murder you!" she cursed.
"Thalia, I'll call you back" I giggled as I hung up the phone.
"Luke it's so good to see you again!" I said as I smiled looking at him.
He had on a pair of black surf shorts and a white tank top with some local slippers.
"It's good to see you too" he replied.
I just stood there smiling, totally forgetting I looked like a raccoon.
"Annabeth? What happened?" he asked sincerely.
"Oh" I said looking at my feet.
"Annabeth, you can tell me. We've been friends forever" he whispered lifting my face up.
It was true, we have been friends forever and he was a brother to me, since I never had a brother. I swear we were born together. He was my next door neighbor for the longest time but when I was around 16, his family moved to Hawaii. I missed him ever since, and I never got to see him. Except for that one time I heard his name, when Percy was being interviewed.
Percy. Just thinking about him made my eyes weld up with tears.
I started crying so Luke pulled me in and hugged me.
"Anna? What happened?" he said as he patted my back.
"Well… I'm pregnant" I whispered.
"What? You are!?" he said as he pulled back holding me back at arm's length.
"That's so great! You always wanted kids" he said happily.
He was right. I did always want kids, ever since I was little I dreamed about having my own little baby.
"Yea I know" I said with a sigh.
"Well then what's wrong? Where's your baby daddy?" he asked
"That's just it. The baby daddy" I said as the tears returned.
"Anna? What's up?" he said as he wiped my tears away.
"I haven't told him" I whispered hanging my head.
"And why is that?"
"Because I know he doesn't want kids"
"How do you know that? Did you ask him?"
"Yea I did. And he said he didn't want kids and he wasn't ready"
"Ohhh"
"Yea" I sighed.
"Well did you tell him you were pregnant?"
"No…"
"Why not? He would probably understand if he knew it was his baby."
"I don't think so" I said as I looked away from his watchful gaze.
"But you don't know for sure." He said trying to convince me,
"Luke, trust me. It's for the best that he doesn't know" I said as I looked up to the sky.
"Oh, Anna… What happened to the good old days, when all we had to worry about was whether we could sneak in some candy before we went to sleep" he said trying to lighten the mood.
"I know right. God those were the best days." I reminisced.
"You got that right chica, man being an adult sucks" he said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"Right!" I said leaning in to him.
"Anna I really missed you" he said as he squeezed my shoulder.
"I know, I've missed you too. It sucked not having my "brother" with me" I said with a smile.
"Yea, I'm sorry. I wish I was there for you. I mean I could have prevented my "sister" from getting knocked up" he laughed.
"Shut up" I said as I playfully punched him.
"You know what this means right?" he said with a smirk.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You have to let me throw you a baby shower!" he practically screamed.
I laughed. "What do you know about a baby shower?"
"Nothing, but I have about 5 to 6 months to figure it out" he said happily.
"I don't know" I said as I folded my hands across my chest.
"Oh please Anna! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!" he begged getting on his knees.
I just looked at him with amusement. "Okay fine" I giggled giving in.
"Yeah!" he yelled throwing a fist in the air.
"God, you're such an air head" I said as I ruffled his hair.
"Yes but I am your air head" he said cheekily.
"Here is my number. Try to actually keep in touch okay?" I said as I hugged him.
"Where are you going?" he asked as I pulled away.
"Home" I said walking back to the hotel. "I have a flight soon" I said drawing nearer to the hotel door.
"Oh okay. Well I'll see you in a few months!" he said waving to me.
"Okay! I can't wait!" I said as I entered the hotel.
LUKE POV:
I waved as she entered the hotel.
It was really good seeing her. I missed her so much, she was like a sister to me and I wanted to be there for her whenever she needed me. It killed me to see that she was having a hard time in life. I can't believe she got pregnant, I mean she always wanted to have a baby, but she was smart so she would have thought this whole thing through. It's strange, but oh well. I'm glad she's slowly getting over what happened. I can't wait to surprise her with the best baby shower ever! Wait, I didn't even ask her who the baby daddy was. Dang it. Oh well.
I walked down to the beach and grabbed one of my boards when I heard someone sniffling.
I looked out on the beach and saw some hunched over.
I walked over and saw it was Percy Jackson. Sure he was my rival in surfing, but we were pretty good mates out of the water.
I walked over to him and sat down beside him.
"Are you okay man?" I asked as I looked at him.
"No man" he sniffled.
"What happened? I never saw you… cry"
"I know, it's embarrassing but it couldn't be helped"
"What happened Jackson?"
"My girl, she left me"
"Oh man, that's heavy. I know how that feels" I said as I patted his back.
"It sucks man" he said as he sat down lifting his head up. He eyes were all swollen, red and puffy.
He must have been here for a while.
"I know. But there's only one remedy for a broken heart" I said with a smile.
"And what's that?" he asked raising his eyebrow.
" A couple of boards and some choice waves" I said as I got up and grabbed my board.
"Ya coming Jackson?" I asked as I walked towards the water.
"Right behind you" he said grabbing his board.
It seemed to be working because he actually started to smile and smack talk like he always did.
We paddled out and shredded like there was no tomorrow.
